Fire Emblem Fates General Discussion: Filled with Nohrian Scum

[Yatogami]

Trying to train units in paralogues is PAIN. I had to let MU, Elise, and Azura die in Ignatius's paralogue so that others can survive and collect exp from Xander's attackers (on Casual tho so they'll come back anyway)

Are there any other paralogues that should be done early due to their difficultly beside Shiro's, Ignatius's, Siegbert's, and Dwyer's?

Shigure was hard for me, and this was on Birthright/Hard/Casual.

...Also I didn't grind, which may have made it a bit more difficult.

OMG! That cover is amazing!!!!!!! Thank you so much for sharing it! She's really talented!

 

[bloomwaker]

I've been enjoying it for a while, so I thought other people here might appreciate it. Glad you like it!

The Hidden Truths DLC releases tomorrow! Giving a warning, Ive heard that it contains major spoilers for Revelation, so don't play it if you haven't completed Revelation yet.

I was rather excited for Fates, but since we have to wait I got Bravely Second instead and now I'm... not excited anymore for Fates, oops. I'm rather obsessed with BS right now, LOL.

Still I do think I will get Fates at some point but I doubt I'll go for the three routes; I'll just pick one instead (might have to flip a coin to decide, but I'm thinking of Conquest).

 

[bloomwaker]

If you're in it for the mechanics, Conquest is definitely the more interesting between the two.

Birthright has interesting objectives too, but I don't think you can just buy that one on its own.

 

[Ayaya]

forrest
siegbert i dont find that hard since you control him from the start and can move him away, i usually do him late with no problem whatsoever since there are forts nearby (and you can then offspring seal him) and the fact enemies dont go after him anyway.

you can always use the rescue staff though

Shigure was hard for me, and this was on Birthright/Hard/Casual.

Thanks! Forrest was kind of tricky at first and I ended up the royals because the enemies are too intimidating, haha.

Shigure was kind of tricky as well, had to trial & error my unit placements so they don't get mobbed sobs. Though apparently the paralogue is easy to clear since aiming the boss is possible with a flier unit.

And the art.

Thank you so much for sharing this! I listened to it a few times and I love the lyrics she made more than the localization version. The loc sounds a bit awkward and this one flows better. The art is gorgeous as well!

Oh!! Though I think I'll watch a playthrough for this, saving my money for the bonds DLC which has unique mother-child dialogue

Once you're done with BS and/or when everyone is hyped for FEF EU, I'm sure you'll be excited as well. I'm on the opposite, I was excited for FEF but I lost my hype for BS over time... I'm not even considering getting it soon now that Zero Time Dilemma is coming in June.

You'll also likely to go for other routes though, since unfortunately the story for the initial paths are designed to tempt you to get the other paths :/ You're going to hear "If only we met as friends..." on both paths often. Everyone I know who's playing it all have/is planning to buy at least Revelations.

Also I accidentally deleted my save file for Conquest..... I'm thankful battle saves exist or else......

hidden truths is came out in NA today and it's like... the prologue sorta of the game.

the dlc that came out in japan was the recollection of bubbles (failed future sorta with the kids) & scramble maps (unique convos).

yea it's the one about the kids

just as a warning for everyone: if you haven't beaten revelation skip the cutscenes if you have to play any of the hidden truths DLC

Finished my playthrough of Birthright last week. The ending sure was bittersweet as a couple of my fave characters died near the end. Not saying who for spoiler reasons.

Now I'm on to Conquest. Just beat the chapter from hell (chapter 10) barely. I was on turn 11 (the last turn) and literally moved my units away from the enemies as much possible as they were ganging up on me. Unfortunately two units were left in the line of fire but they managed to just barely survive. Yay! So done with that annoying chapter.

I'm starting to get really excited for Revelations but I'm definitely going to finish off Conquest first.

whats ur guys fave underrated characters? for me its def azama and mitama. i love those two. azamas so funny and he has a nice STR growth, i wish there were supports between him and joker or niles

Mine is Hayato I suppose. I originally didn't like his personality at all but I've grown to put up with it haha. Anyways I was surprised to learn not many people use him. I understand when you get him he is very under levelled but with some hard work he can become a killing machine. Even someone I know said he's really the only character they never used in Birthright.

I promoted him to Basara at level 20 for the added defence (as I never really had him use lances). He was my go to for killing off anything with high defence but low resistance. He pretty much one shotted every enemy thanks to his ability Rend Heaven (skill stat X1.5 for activation and he has 25 skill so that's 37.5% trigger rate and I swear it happens a lot).

YES! So much YES! I am very much looking forward to Zero Time Dilemma since I absolutely loved Virtue's Last Reward!

That being said, I have a list of games I really should continue or finish so Fates isn't a priority for me anymore. But chances are that when Europe finally gets the game I'll get excited again because other people are playing it, you know? ^_^

My hype for Fates died out in January, and once February hit, it slammed into me like a train. I got so excited the day before, I ended up anxious, LOL.

I managed to get my order in for both the 3DS and Special Edition of the game so I was very eager to get my packages. Incidentally, while they both shipped from different places, they ended up on the same UPS truck.

 

[radical6]

so idk why, but i mindlessly put rinkah with keaton. shouldve done effie or charlotte but..whatever i guess its too late. her growths are okay but im missing out on a tank, might go for charlotte!velouria later on my lunatic run

currently im testing nyx!nina and her magic growths are really good, usually i had nina as a bow user but shes doing pretty good. did sakura!caledori for mixed dark flier

hana!soleil is also a god btw, great for min/maxing since no one really wants hana as a mom imo. how good is hinoka!siegbert? i heard hes pretty good.

 

[Thunder]

dont do it he'll have horrible tomato hair

whats ur guys fave underrated characters? for me its def azama and mitama. i love those two. azamas so funny and he has a nice STR growth, i wish there were supports between him and joker or niles

is azama underrated? he seems fairly popular

for me, probably rinkah and her fake muscles.

that's how i usually am, there comes a point where the release date is so far off that the hype just dies down. it usually kicks into high gear again when the release date is much closer.

everyone i know thinks hes ugly and hates him, personality wise hes pretty similar to jakob and niles but not as nearly as popular.

i like rinkah but her growths are so...awful. literally why did they make her have like awful strength growths.
